Recent bio submitted to a publisher: Katey Schultz writes from her home near the summit of Roan Mountain and the NC/TN state line. Sometimes she talks to herself and other times she does not. She prefers Beagles to Chihuahua’s any day and wishes she’d invented the phrase, “man’s best friend.” Her writing has appeared in Cadillac Cicatrix, M Review, Oregon Quarterly’s essay contest, Now & Then, Southern Arts Journal, and more. She is Nonfiction editor of Silk Road and Fiction Anthology editor for Main Street Rag. Someday she will publish a book, she swears.
